The life of an average christian?

Date September 4, 2007

Is this the life of our everyday average Christian / Church attender?

Point of sale conversion through a variety of methods
Rapid learning / Indoctrination of ideas, beliefs, some being Biblical
A removal from old friendships and environments as a Christian-subculture encroaches
Forming of ‘fellowship’ that is so tight, very few others can squeeze in
Establishing of a fixed role, set of friends, and seat in a pew
Rapid boredom
Mission becomes a defensive posture mostly consisting of self-justification of why they remain a Christian
Laggards get lost with attempts to change and innovators get lost as we settle in success
The mission is lost and the church waits for Jesus to close the doors

True?
